My Project

Supplying pencils and writing materials for incoming 9th graders is often part of my effort to ensure that all students have the necessary tools for learning and success. Here are a few reasons why this is important to me.

Equity: Not all students may have access to necessary supplies.

By providing these materials, we help level the playing field so that every student can participate fully.

Preparedness: Ensuring that students have the required supplies helps them come to class ready to learn and engage in activities without delays or interruptions.

Consistency: It helps maintain consistency in the quality of materials used in the classroom, which can be important for certain assignments and projects.

Reducing Stress: It alleviates the stress for families who might struggle to purchase these items, ensuring that students can focus on their studies rather than worrying about missing supplies.

Encouraging Good Habits: Providing supplies can also be a way to encourage students to develop good organizational habits and take responsibility for their materials.
